COMPARISON BETWEEN THE EFFECT OF LINTEL AND LINTEL BAND ON THE GLOBAL PERFORM...IAEME Publication
Improperly designed brick masonry walls cause undesirable effects under seismic loading in both brick masonry in-filled reinforced concrete (RC) frames and masonry load bearing wall structures. Doors and windows (openings) are unavoidable components in brick masonry in-filled RC structures and masonry load bearing wall structures because of its functional and ventilation requirements. The presence of openings in brick masonry walls reduces the lateral stiffness and strength of the wall in both RC and load bearing structures, which changes the actual behavior of structure. If these openings are located in the restricted zones like areas within middle two thirds of a wall wall, then the wall needs to be strengthened by providing necessary horizontal/vertical (bands) structural elements such as lintel or lintel bands around them.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON FLEXURAL BEHAVIOURS OF ECC AND CONCRETE COMPOSITE REINF...IAEME Publication
Engineered cementations composite (ECC) is a class of high-performance cementations
composites with strain-hardening behaviour and excellent crack control. Substitution of concrete
with ECC can avoid the cracking and durability problems associated with brittleness of concrete.
Extensive inelastic deformation is achieved in ECC through Recron 3’s fibre. ECC can be used in
high rise buildings due to their appearance, high bearing capacity, ductility, Fast construction and
cost effective. The aim of the paper is to study the flexural behaviour of ECC and concrete
composite reinforced beams. Size of the beam is 1200mm x100mmx150mm. The percentage of
Recron 3’s fibre replaced is 0.5 %, 1.5%, 2.5% by weight of cement. Finally conventional beam is
compared with ECC beam and also compare ECC at top and bottom of composite beams

PREPARATION OF BRICK EARTH
Removal of loose soil:
About 30 cm depth contains a lot of impurities
like organic matter and hence
it should be taken out and thrown away.
Digging, spreading and cleaning:
The earth is then dug out from the ground.
This earth is spread into heaps
about 50 to 150 cm height.
Weathering:
The earth is then exposed to atmosphere for softening.
The period may be Of
few weeks to a season.
Hand moulding
When moulding is done with hand it is called hand moulding.
A wooden rectangular mould made in the shape of a brick is normally used for this purpose.
Machine moulding
The clay is placed in the machine, it comes out through the opening Under pressure.
It is cut to bricks by steel wires fixed into frames.
These bricks are also called wire cut bricks.
DRYING OF BRICKS

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. History of Ceramics
-Ceramics that date back to at least 24,000 BC. Flourished
in Upper Egypt about 8,000 BC.
- In the Middle Ages, when the metal industry was in its
infancy. The industrial revolution was born, when synthetic
materials with better resistance to high temperatures
(called refractories) were developed in the 16th century.
These refractories created the necessary conditions for
melting metals and glass on an industrial scale, as well as
for the manufacture of coke, cement, chemicals, and
ceramics.
4. History of Ceramics (CONT’)
• -Another major development occurred in the second half
of the 19th century, when ceramic materials for electrical
insulation were developed. As other inventions came on
the scene-including automobiles, radios, televisions,
computers-ceramic and glass materials were needed to
help these become a reality, as shown in the following
timeline.
5. Ceramics: Composition of Clay
-main compositions are feldspar group of minerals
comprise around 60% of the earth's crust. They are
aluminium silicates, also incorporating alkali and/or alkaline
earth metals.
6. Ceramics: Composition of Clay(CONT’)
-Clays are divided to two types:
1) Primary clay:
-usually found in the same place as the feldspar from which
it originated
-is relatively rare and has particular properties with which
potters must work.(pure materials)
-earthen clay (the kind from the ground, which is often
glazed/sealed and "fired" in a kiln with very high heat after
air-drying)(less plastic)
-absorbs more water compared to the secondary type of
clay.
7. Ceramics: Composition of
Clay(CONT’)
2) Secondary clay:
-have been transported by wind, water or both from their
places of formation.
-are far more abundant and tend to be easier to form and
fire.
-Polymer clay is oil-based (not water-based and "air-dry"
like most other "clays") so it has no water to lose and can't
"dry" out and is pretty impervious to water.(Higher
plasticity)
- is pretty impervious to water.
- absorbed water and/or drying won't hurt the clay though
or make it less strong.
10. Types of Moulding
• Injection moulding
- Optimal process for manufacturing large series of relatively
small components. By mixing ceramic powder and suitable
binder systems it is possible to injection mould ceramic
components. The polymer binder is burned off in a separate
burn off stage before sintering.
12. Types of Moulding (cont’)
• Isostatic pressing
- Ceramic powder is fed into a
moulding bag inside an isostatic
press.
- The press is sealed and the
isostatic pressure is increased.
13. Types of Moulding (cont’)
- The powder compacts and
forms a solid in the form of the
moulding bag. The pressure is
released and the press can be
open to remove the formed
ceramic component.
14.

17. Characteristics (cont’)
• All floor tiles can be used on walls and others surface but
not all wall tiles can be used on floors
• Installed in Portland cement setting bed or special epoxy
adhesives
• Rarely accurate in shape and size
• Most advanced ceramic materials are combination of
ceramics and others materials known as Ceramic Matrix
Composites
18. Advantages of Ceramic
• Durable
• -extremely hard.
• -last 10-20 years and longer.
• -handle extremes of heat and cold very well.
• Easy to clean
• -stain resistant.
• -hygienic, not absorb liquids, does not retain the residues and
smells of chemicals, foods or beverages.
• -simply vacuum and use damp mop.
• Design options
• -modern manufacturing techniques allow ceramic producers to
make materials which can be printed in numerous ways.
19. Advantages of Ceramic (cont’)
• Cost
-relatively inexpensive, cheaper than hard wood, carpet.
- Once you absorb the initial cost of tile you don’t have to
spend money on it again for the life of the product if it is
installed properly.
• Can be installed in nearly any application
-on floors, walls, in showers, backsplashes, ceilings
-countertops, table tops, fireplaces, columns and more
-water resistance, can be installed in wet environment.
• High scratch resistance
• Resistance to burns
20. Advantages of Ceramic (cont’)
• Resistance to fading
-not fade due to sunlight and electrical light.
• Environmental friendly
-100% natural materials.
21. Disadvantages of Ceramic
• Temperature
-Ceramic is cold when used as flooring and can be quite
uncomfortable during cold climate.
-density of ceramic.
-during hot climate, warm ceramic tile takes a long time
to cool.
• Ceramic installation
-intensive installation, hard and heavy and they need to
be
installed using a variety of mortars, grouts, and tools.
-higher labor cost.
22. Disadvantages of Ceramic
• Ceramic Tile Weight
-Ceramics are quite heavy, which means that they may not
always be appropriate for upper story installations.
• Hard Flooring
-difficult and uncomfortable to stand on.
-Unlike resilient floors, hard tile ceramics cannot be softened
using padded underlayments.
-not suitable at environments where people will be forced
to stand for long periods of time.
23. Properties of Ceramics
• Ceramics are best known as brittle solids particularly
suited for withstanding high temperatures but, in fact, the
different materials used in ceramics can gives them a
wide range of properties.
• The classic properties of ceramics include durability,
strength and brittleness, high electrical and thermal
resistance, and an ability to withstand the damaging
effects of acids, oxygen, and other chemicals because of
their chemical unreactive.
24. Properties of Ceramics (cont’)
• But not all ceramics behave in this way. For example,
graphite is a very soft ceramic and conducts electricity
well, whereas diamond is a very good good conductor of
heat.
• Ceramics called ferrites are particularly good conductors
of electricity and superconductors have almost no
electrical resistance at all.
25. General properties of ceramics
• Hard
• Wear – resistant
• Brittle
• Refractory
• Thermal insulators
• Electrical insulators
• Nonmagnetic
• Oxidation resistant
• Prone to thermal shock
• Chemically stable

2. Stoneware
3. Fireclay
4. Earthware
5. Roofing
6. Porcelain
7. Vitreous China
28. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 1. Terracotta
•This is a type of earthenware, is a clay-based unglazed or
glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous.
•Uses include flower pots, water and waste water pipes,
bricks, and surface embellishment in building construction.
•Natural, brownish orange colour.
29. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Faience : a glazed form of terracotta or stoneware
• Fired to the biscuit condition and then glazed before
refiring
• Alternatively, unfired faience may be glazed and ‘once
fired’
• Once fired : a process which improves resistance to
crazing of the glaze while reducing the range of colour
• When water can penetrate, crystallization of salts and
frost action will cause failure, thus faience with low water
absorption is preferable as it is resistant to frost.
1. Terracotta
30. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 1. Terracotta
Uses of Terracotta :
• Easy to clean
• Crazing of inferior products collect grime
• Suitable for in–ground use to carry
pressurized water
• Garden ware
• Oil containers
• Ovens
• Building decorations in tropical environments
or in freezing environment ( need to be glazed
)
31. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 1. Terracotta
Disadvantages of Terracotta :
• Expensive : it is rather costly when compared to the other
tiles useful for construction reasons.
• Sensitive : fragility, not suitable to receive heavy knocks
• Loss of colour : within the passage of time, these types of
tiles often fade and lose its original deep colour
32. TYPES OF CERAMIC
2. STONEWARE
1. Stoneware is a vitreous (glass) or semi-
vitreous ceramic made primarily from stoneware clay or
non-refractory fire clay.
2. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures and it is
nonporous.
33. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 1. STONEWARE
Composition :
Stoneware is made up of 3 major component, which is clays, fluxes and fillers.
Clay:
- The basic clays found in stoneware clay body formulas are high-
temperature refractory clays. Each group of clays provides specific attributes to the
total clay body formula, including fired strength, shrinkage and plasticity.
Fillers:
- Fillers reduce clay body shrinkage and warping in the drying and firing
stages. If the amount of filler is too high, the clay body's plastic qualities will be
decreased.
34. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Fluxes:
Fluxes help lower the melting point of heat-
resistant clays and fillers and increase the glass
formation in a clay body. Using the wrong flux or
an incorrect amount can have disastrous
consequences.
1. STONEWARE

intense heat.
2. It is suitable for making articles which will not melt, nor
even perceptibly soften when exposed to a high
temperature.
38. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 2. Fireclay
Composition :
Fireclay consists alumina and silica.
Alumina:
It is also named alumminium oxide. It has high thermal conductivity and good
electrical insulator which makes it suitable for making ceramics.
Silica:
It is also named silicon dioxide. It is a major constituent of sand. It has high
thermal stability and is a good electrical insulator, same as alumina.
39. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• 2. Fireclay
FUNCTION :
• Sink
• Bathtub
• Tiles
• Crucible
• Firebricks
41. TYPES OF CERAMIC
3. Earthenware
• Earthenware is also called low fired clay because it is normally matured
at low temperature
• Finer than stoneware
• Porosity, high water absorbtion of 5-8%
• Must be glazed to prevent water absorbtion
• small cracks in glaze is permeable to water
• Less suitable for sanitary ware compared to vitreous china
• Not translucent and are more easily to chipped, less strong than
stoneware
• There are two main types of glazed earthenware:
1 ) creamware 2) tin-glazed
42. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Roofing
• Low water absorbtion
• High slip resistant
• This allows rainwater to flow downwards without leaking between tiles
• Durable chemical and frost resistance
• protects you from water during the rain, heat in summer and cold in winter
• last for about 400 years without losing its beauty and effectiveness
• Come in traditional red, brown or antique which are unglazed with a plain
finish
43. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Porcelain
• A special type of clay either white or grey, to which kaolin (a
white firing stiff clay) and white China stone (finely decayed
granite, washed and prepared as small white blocks) is
added.
• Primary components - clays, feldspar or flint and silica
44. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Porcelain
Manufacture process of Procelain :
1. Crushed using jaw crushers, hammer mills, and ball mills.
2. Cleaning to remove improperly sized materials
3. The mixture is subjected to one of four forming process —soft plastic
forming, stiff plastic forming, pressing, or casting—depending on the type of
ware being produced.
4. The ware then undergoes a preliminary firing step, bisque-firing.
45. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Vitreous China
• Mixture of clay, feldspar and quartz which is molded, glazed
and "baked" at extremely high temperatures
• material which is strong, nonporous and impervious to
absorption.
46. TYPES OF CERAMIC
• Vitreous China
The word “vitreous” means “glass-like,”
glaze makes ordinary ceramics look shiny and
reflective while maintaining & strengthening their
durability.
The glaze itself is usually made of composite minerals
and powdered glass.
1. It is typically sold as a powder that artisans and manufacturers must
melt down, in a kiln or specialized oven, before using.
2. Once the glaze has reached its melting point it can be painted, or
“glazed,” onto the surface of the ceramic piece.
3. The enamel must usually be left to dry for a time, then the piece re-
fired to seal the coating.
4. Past this point, the item can usually be itself described as “vitreous
china.”
47. TYPES OF CERAMIC
